As a nation we either cannot afford the services we demand, including the shiny new hospitals and prisons and the wondrous new rail lines, or we are not willing to pay more taxes to fund these collective ambitions.
Incompetence. It's not the brightest and best that work for local government, as they are generally used to hoover up the unemployed so that the unemployment rates go down. It's then impossible to get fired. Plus there's extensive nepotism and cronyism. And of course the revolving door for those that authorise the contracts.hanno wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 5:02 pmBribery does not exist in the UK?tightenupvolume1 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 4:54 pm "Probably paid the politicians too much bribe money"
